Round 1 Matchup:
Knights vs. Preds
Regular Season Series:
2-1
Vegas and Nashville only played 3 Regular Season games against each this season. Vegas lost the first game but won the next two. In the 3 games played, Vegas outscored Nashville 7-5.
Playoff Prediction:
This should be a tight series based on the regular season play of both teams, but Vegas is coming in hot, with a 3 game winning streak. They’ve gone 9-1 on their last 10 and own the best record in the Western Conference.
Nashville is coming in after securing the 2nd Wildcard spot. They had a do not quit attitude for the whole season and have proven to be dangerous. They went 6-2-2 in their last 10 games and have a 3 game winning streak as well.
This clearly a David vs Goliath Series and with the way the scrappy Predators battled to make the playoffs they can easily pull off the biggest upset of the playoffs. Many conspiracy theorists are saying Smashville in 6.
